San Bada is a great location for the National Park, beach, and a few restaurants. Breakfast was good. Rooms are spacious and clean. Unfortunately the view towards the ocean from all rooms, is looking at a group of run down buildings. Very disappointed that our view was of the rundown buildings with a small glimpse of the ocean.

Very nice resort and the area was perfect. 5 minute walk to the beach and the hotel is also right next to National Park. Very friendly staff and quick service. Would definitely go again.

OUR TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WOTH SAN BADA HOTEL
San Bada hotel was the worst experience my family have ever had with hotels. We have reserved and paid in advanced two rooms for 3 nights for my family vacation and were charged $335 per room per night. We have expected a reasonable hotel for this price but we were EXTREMLY disappointed. We have found a run down old hotel. The rooms smell terrible and are full of bugs. The sheets are not clean and the pillows are smelly. The staff are tired and really do not care. After the first night we went for breakfast and found the place dirty and full of flies. We really could not eat there. We approached the manager and explained our huge disappointment of the hotel. We asked to leave and asked for refunds for the two nights left (that we have paid in advance). The manager was rude and refused to refund anything. To save our family vacation, we had to make new reservation in another hotel and left San Bada hotel. It left us with a terrible taste for our vacation. The San Bada hotel charges high price for very poor return. The exuberant price for this terrible hotel, in my opinion is NOT justified.

Stayed hear 1 night. Steps from the park. Was not very full so that was nice. Not sure what the experience would be like if the property were full. AC worked well. Pools and bars were nice. Breakfast was very good and included. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Luis, our tour guide for the park, was excellent. I would highly recommend a guide. They are able to find the animals much easier and they use your phone with their spotting scopes to get excellent pictures. It was $51 USD per person but that does include your admission to the park. Pura Vida!

We loved our stay at the San Bada! It’s a great location directly next to Manuel Antonio park. Very convenient walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The staff was very helpful, even tracking us down in the hotel restaurant after we checked out and left something in our room. The rooms were clean and we saw lots of wild life, especially monkeys right outside our door several times!
